Overview

Gulf specialises in engineered plastic components for critical applications that demand tight tolerances, reliable quality control, and long term production repeatability. We offer an extensive range of products across the automotive, industrial, agriculture, tapware, and general potable and non-potable water industries.

Utilising our material science expertise, we work with Customers to understand their projects and challenges and develop suitable material solutions. We use a variety of plastics from nylon 4, 6 or 6/6, polypropylene, TPV’s (such as santoprene), acetal, noryl, blends of Nylon with glass or PTFE, nylon/kevlar cord, PE foam, EVA foam and others.

Gulf understands that designing plastic components and composites with plastic materials require both linear and non-linear stress analysis, for function, fitment and durability. Gulf uses state of the art design software to ensure product design and performance is predicted and optimised at the design stage on any product.

Quality Assurance

Gulf’s team of engineers ensure all factories around the world meet quality standards required for ISO 9001 certifications. All products go through rigorous analysis and testing on a range of metrics, including tensile and tear strength, stress relaxation, and compound rheology. Our stringent process controls use tools such as Poka-Yoke / Error-Proofing, Statistical Process Control (SPC), Process Failure Mode Effects Analysis (PFMEA) and automated inspection tools.

Other analytical tools include Design of Experiments (DoE), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Gauge R&R and 8D Problem Solving.

Custom Design Capabilities

Custom Design Capability

At Gulf, we thrive on the opportunity to innovate. If you need a custom product or solution, then our trusted engineers, chemists, and technologists will work tirelessly to deliver above and beyond your expectations. Whatever your specifications or requirements, you can rest easy knowing that you’ve got the strategic partner who can solve the problem.

Custom Design Capability

Using DFMA (design for manufacture and assembly), we can help duplicate parts, improve existing parts, or develop new ones. In partnership with you, products are developed, tested, and delivered to streamline production and simplify your supply chain, often resulting in lower cost products and quicker delivery time.
